Chapter 269: Mutual Affection
In a certain alley of West Street, Tingzhu stepped on the stone slab quickly, and seemed to be a little anxious to go somewhere. She secretly grasped a small object in the sleeve of her coat with one hand, while secretly watching for any unusual movement around her.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived in the alley, she saw a seemingly pleasant boy in front of her, but in fact, he was already preparing to touch the short blade on her waist.
Tingzhu immediately stopped, turned around to look, and there was also a man behind him, who seemed to have been ambushed a long time ago, and attacked back and forth, leaving no way for her to retreat.
"Little girl, what your master asked you to get, can you take it out?" A man smiled evilly, not seeing the woman in front of him as a prey that would still struggle, but just a little white rabbit waiting for his subsequent catch, a little maid, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Hearing Zhu hear him say this, he immediately put away his right hand and tried to put it behind him, and when the two saw her reaction, they immediately understood, knowing that what they wanted was in her hand, and they were even more proud, laughing, and were about to step forward to catch her.
"I'm not going to give it to you!" Tingzhu gritted his teeth and hardened his airway, and fear loomed on his face.
Seeing this, the two men were even happier and sneered: "How capable can you be a little girl?" Your master is really brainless, let you come with a powerless maid, haha, persuade you to give us things obediently, so as not to scratch your face for a while, but it won't look good. ”
"But no, don't talk nonsense, how many pounds and taels can you have? The two of us just let you fight back, and you can't pay it back. ”
Listening to their words, Tingzhu didn't care at all, and still held the thing tightly in his hand, for fear of being snatched away.
"You give it to me!" As he spoke, a man was about to step forward and grab Tingzhu's wrist and try to snatch it up. Tingzhu struggled twice, and the other hand was imprisoned by another man, unable to break free, seeing that the thing was taken away by the two, it should be over, but I didn't expect that after they didn't put the thing in their arms, they actually had a bad heart, and the two made a look at each other, wanting to catch Tingzhu back.
"No, it's no problem to catch it back, but who's going to report it?"
"What then?"
The two whispered for a while, intending to pull Tingzhu to a small house not far away. On the small building a few feet away, a figure took out two hidden weapons and was about to throw them at the two men, when he was suddenly interrupted by a male voice.
"Stop!"
Hearing this, several people looked in the direction of the sound. The other two men didn't know each other, but Tingzhu knew that this man was the guard beside Ye Ying, Xiao Mu.
When the two men saw that he was blocked from exiting, they frowned and stepped forward, pushed Tingzhu behind him, and shouted, "Who are you?" Have a finger in the pie? ”
Today's Xiao Mu is dressed plainly and elegantly, just like an ordinary person, and it is normal for him to not recognize which family he is, and the two of them just think that he is a strong minion.
"What? Do you still want to learn from other people's heroes to save beauty? Coming out strong? You're alone? I'm afraid I don't have that ability? ”
Xiao Mu didn't seem to be very good at words, he glanced at Tingzhu, then looked at the other two, and couldn't hear the tone: "Let her go." ”
With such words, there was neither momentum nor indignation, and the two actually looked at each other and laughed.
"Such a weak bird, dare to take care of the uncle's business, where did you come from, go where you go!" After saying that, there was another burst of ridicule.
Tingzhu looked at him silently, with his own measurements in his heart, from the first time he saw Xiao Mu, until now, he didn't seem to have heard him say a few words, and he didn't know much about it, besides, he had never seen him have any look, but what he never imagined was that he was still so salty and indifferent at this time, which really made people dare not believe him, but Tingzhu saw a different spark in his eyes, although he was not brave enough, but he wanted to save her, she could see it.
Besides, since he is Ye Ying's guard, presumably his martial arts won't be too bad, right?
Listening to Zhu was still thinking silently, the three of them had already started fighting. Sure enough, Tingzhu thought well, Xiao Mu's martial arts were okay, and it was more than enough to deal with these two people. Seeing that he defeated the two, he stepped forward and grabbed Tingzhu and wanted to take her away, a man lying on the ground suddenly grabbed Tingzhu's feet and did not let go, Xiao Mu was about to turn around to rescue, and suddenly another man behind him had already climbed up, swinging a knife and slashing, he immediately backhanded to block, and Tingzhu behind him raised his foot and wanted to kick the person who dragged her on the ground, but when he saw him pull out the dagger, she was startled for a moment, thinking that she was about to be hit by this knife, but she didn't expect that suddenly the man screamed, and the dagger in his hand fell in response, Tingzhu clearly saw that a hidden weapon was hit in his arm, she turned her head to look in the direction where the hidden weapon was flying, only to see a wisp of green silk floating gently in the wind, and then a hand made a gesture towards her, and disappeared.
She immediately understood, came back to her senses, followed Xiao Mu's fight, and left the alley, the two knew that they were invincible, and they were already seriously injured, and the things had already arrived, so they hurried away.
Out of danger, the two stood at the intersection of the alley, calmed down for a while, and then calmed down and looked at each other. Xiao Mu lowered his eyebrows and looked at Tingzhu, still as before, unwilling to look directly, he lowered his head slightly, only to find that he was still holding Tingzhu's hand tightly and never let go.
He was about to let go of his strength, but suddenly hesitated, as if there was no excuse for him to touch the woman in front of him again. After such a hesitation, he actually shook it back.
Tingzhu felt something, which showed that he had found out, but he didn't mean to let go......
In fact, the scene where Xiao Mu rescued her just now, she really saw it, and she saw these in her eyes, I have to say that Xiao Mu really has a lot of merit when she looks at it like this, how much manly she is, and it poked at the hearts of those daughters in Tingzhu's heart.
"Thank you." Listening to Zhu open her mouth to thank her, in fact, she also knew in her heart that even if Xiao Mu didn't appear, she would be fine, if there was really something, how could her young master send her a little girl to do something? What others can think of, will the young master of his own family not think of? Therefore, Xiao Mu's appearance was also an accident, but this accident seemed to be relatively lucky.
Listening to what Zhu said, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the hand that was tightly held by Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu relieved his strength at this time, lowered his head and slowly raised his head, met Tingzhu's gaze, pursed his lips and said, "It's a matter of effort." ”
Looking at his expression that wanted to laugh but couldn't, he laughed out loud and said funny: "You can't laugh more ugly than crying, right?" ”
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Mu didn't understand her joke, and the look on her face was full of doubt, but it was not obvious.
"Forget it," Tingzhu didn't laugh like him, he always felt that the idiot in front of him was a real nerd, he couldn't talk or laugh, and he couldn't understand her jokes, so he thanked him seriously, and planned to leave, "Thank you for your help today, I am very grateful, I owe this kindness first, if you have anything to use...... Hmmm......"
Speaking of this, Tingzhu closed her voice again and paused, she still understood very well that she was just a maid, and she couldn't promise him more.
"Xiao Guards know that Tingzhu is just a maid, and he can't give much return to Gongzi, but the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, as long as Tingzhu can do, he will definitely repay Gongzi."
Xiao Mu listened to Tingzhu's words, his face was slightly unnatural, he really hoped that Tingzhu would say something like 'promise by body', or he could say such a request himself, but he also knew this, he couldn't do it, he couldn't say it, he pursed his lips, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "No need." ”
Hearing what Zhu said, he looked at him seriously, pursed his lips and smiled, it was actually the shyness of some daughters, and said seriously: "If you want it, Xiao Guard, don't forget to listen to Zhu." ”
"No......" This time, Xiao Mu responded urgently, staring at Tingzhu with burning eyes, snorted twice, and stopped talking.
"By the way, today's Xiao guard, why is he dressed like this? Where's your young lady? ”
Speaking of ordinary things, Xiao Mu also regained his old look and replied, "Rest today." ”
"Oh." Listening to Zhu's response, it seemed that she was waiting for Xiao Mu to speak, but she waited for a while, but she didn't hear him speak, the two stood quietly opposite each other, and the atmosphere was embarrassingly cold.
There is no way to go on like this, Tingzhu had to take the lead in speaking, "Even so, then Tingzhu will no longer occupy the time of Xiao Guard, presumably Xiao Guard still has something to do, so Tingzhu will leave first." ”
After that, Tingzhu lowered his arms, turned around and was about to leave in some frustration, but suddenly Xiao Mu's body moved, blocking her way, Tingzhu raised his head and looked at him puzzled, to see what he would say.
Xiao Mu didn't look up at Tingzhu, but asked softly, "Will there be a period later?" ”
Tingzhu instantly felt her heartbeat hit violently, as if she was about to jump out of her chest, her cheeks couldn't help but be a little shy, she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, then looked up at him and replied, "If the son wants to see me, just ask the young master." ”
Listening to the sound of bamboo, Xiao Mu didn't understand it, he was slightly stunned for a while, and then responded slowly, as if he was embarrassed.
In fact, Tingzhu is not small, not long ago Liu Niang had mentioned when Tingzhu would get married, Zhang Luo could change a person for Huan Sheng, but for a while, it was also a little bit down, and this matter was mentioned, and it was put aside.
Tingzhu also knew that Liufu treated her like a relative, and when she chose her husband's family, she thought about her, if she liked it, then Mrs. Liu would definitely agree. Besides, the young master, he must hope that he can marry a person who is in love with each other, if Xiao Guardwei has this heart and goes to ask the young master, the young master will definitely come to ask her, then she just needs to nod her head, then ......
Xiao Mu naturally wanted to see her for the rest of her life.
After listening to Zhu's words, she turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned back, pulled off the hairpin on her head and stuffed it to Xiao Mu, she wanted to say something more, but everything was silent, she expressed it clearly enough, no need to say more, and then quickly disappeared into the alley.
Looking at the hairpin in his hand, Xiao Mu was stunned and at a loss, and when he looked up again, Tingzhu's figure had long since disappeared, he clenched the hairpin in his hand, but his face became more solemn.
